Travel Training 

Learning to travel independently! We make this achievable for people with an individual package, which includes small steps, one route and a positive risk assessment. We know that to be able to achieve one journey, gives independence, control and opens up many other opportunities for the person to increase their potential.

Travel Training gives people with complex health and social care needs more confidence to make the journeys to and from places independently using public transport.

There are huge benefits for people travelling independently:

·     Increases confidence and independence

·     Reduces reliance on specialist transport and parents/carers

·     Improves contribution at work or in a learning establishment

·     Provides more opportunities to go out with friends and be involved in more pursuits

·     Gives more opportunities to go increase your options of finding work

The benefits mentioned above make a real difference to lives of people, and over time when the person completes more journeys on their own until they are able to travel safely and independently. We will continue to support people after they are travelling independently to ensure the person is travelling safely.
